He was careful as he delved deep into the swampy area, each step calculated to avoid the treacherous patches of mud that could give him away. The air was thick with humidity, and the dark, murky water seemed to hide unseen dangers beneath its surface. He knew avoiding getting too close to them would be imperative to his health. Dominic paused as his eye scanned a nearby familiar plant; it was blue in coloration with deep green leaves. Intrigued, he would briefly approach it - studying it for a moment. What could this be used for?

Without think he plucks it up in his mouth and tucks it away within his pouch. Moments later his eye scanned the area, catching the faint movements of potential prey among the shadows. The swamp was a dangerous place, but it also offered opportunities for those who knew how to navigate its depths. He was still new to it personally, but he hoped to learn more of it with time. Dominic let out a low, resonant call, inviting others to join him in the hunt, his senses sharp as he continued to study the shifting landscape.

This place. It was unpleasant to say the least.

But supprising things could be found in unusual locations. It was worth a look regardless. A careful look. Quietly she murmurs a prayer for guidance, so he steps might be true and a slip into disaster avoided.

Swamps were dangerous enough at the usual times. Now with the water being chilled as well... this place was especially deadly. She heard the call. Moved twoards it in response, wondering what life might be found in these depths - looking for what would be hunted.

This place was ... kind of disgusting actually. It was wet. But not the 'good' kind of wet like the rest of the jungle. No, this was a sickly, rotting kind of wet.

The water was nasty, full of bugs, reaked, and was murky - unpalatable in every possible way. The ground was uneven, disturbingly shifting in spots and slick along areas.

But she was hungry, needed to eat. And had heard him call. As she moved Ashwin noted the flowers that bloomed, possibly the last blooms of fall, the colors seeming ever more vivid against the murky backdrop.

She wondered what useful properties they might possess and made a mental note to carry some back later for closer study. For now however the huntress had caught sight of the two ahead - and chuffed softly, dropping Into a creeping crouch so as not to tip off prey.

Looking to the older cats Ashwin tried to figure out what was being hunted - and what she should do to best help.

Again, again! Whether it be the pregnancy hormones or simply the surge of adrenaline that came from throwing herself into these hunts, Nyaxia craved more. Another elephant would be difficult, but she had no doubts that the group would be able to pummel the beast into oblivion. Nyaxia knew her place among the crowd and settled into her role as smoothly as always, shutting off any part of her brain that remotely considered anything other than the hunt. The elephant had her undivided attention as she sneaked closer, aiming to launch where necessary to chip away at its life. It would take some time, but hopefully others would join.

The swamp and its climate were much more agreeable in these colder months, and so Ilarion would venture into the heart of it with less trepidation than he had in the height of the hot season. He had caught wind of prey, and like any self-respecting predator with any sort of appetite, the brute ventured forward with the intention to hunt. Even if he didn't want the spoils himself, his pride-mates would. The ground was crispy enough, in parts, to build up a bit of a trot; he could use the terrain to his advantage to push himself a little, and work on his endurance as he loped towards the target. Once the gap between himself and the hunting party - which was... still rather small - had shrunk, he could see his quarry. Ah. This would be interesting. Unlike the posse of lions that had formed so far so fell it, the herbivore was enormous. He'd brought down rhinos before, but this would be his first time killing an elephant. With the lowest and quietest of grunts to alert the others - if that hadn't already seen - to the fact that another had joined to help, the giant male kept towards the back of the group. He'd use his bulk as best he could, in all the ways he knew how.

Out hunting again he was hot on the trail of something. Something big judging from the tracks it was an elephant. Being alone he wasn’t about to risk his life taking on one of them but he was willing to follow its tracks. The elephant tracks seemed to lead into the swamp interesting. Moving around he noticed movement then other scents. Gaze turned as he realized he wasn’t the only one tracking the beast. Only the others here were hunting it? Hmm very interesting. Looking at them he smirked before nodding his head. Slipping into place he decided to join the hunting party.

This territory was new to Rose. As she traversed the muck of the swamp she wasn't sure she liked it all that much. She was considering turning around when the sight of something clay moving through the mire caught her attention and she spotted the Caladan hunter disappearing in the distance. Strange, what was Milano doing way out here? Intrigued she moved to follow. Hunting! Her eyes grew wide as she laid eyes on the elephant in the swamp, catching a glimpse of a lion here and a lioness there as the elephant slowly became surrounded. Lions in Amaryllis didn't mess around with their hunting did they? Hello Milano! How do we hunt something this big? She whispered to her friend as she slipped into a hunting position next to @Milano and lowered herself closer to the muck of the mire. It was unpleasant but necessary as she got into position. If she were going to stumble into another impromptu hunt, she might as well learn a thing or two! 2 years | no perks Hunting party hits: 9/30 Hunter hit dice - Rolling 2d20: 4 + 16 Hunter luck dice - Rolling 7d20: 16 + 11 + 8 + 19 + 14 + 17 + 20 Bard +10 (doubled) learn about another trade's skill (1/2) +10 (doubled) take part in a hunt using the rolled dice system

The hunt had taken him into the swamps today as he followed the scents of food. It was close enough to home that he man hoped he could bring a bit extra back for he winter, but far enough that there should be a bit of prey that hadn't been ran off by the elephant stampede that had rampaged the rainforest recently.

What he had not expected was to find an elephant in the swamps.

His brow furrowed and eyes narrowed at the creature as he picked up on the movements of others around it. So the lions had decided to hunt the elephant today? Rhett approved - he disliked the idea of one lingering this close to the rainforest anyway. They were clearly in need of culling if they'd managed to drive out an entire pride recently.

Lowering himself to stalk to beast and survey the surroundings he did a quick estimate of the number of others laying in wait. There seemed to be enough for an attack. His muscles tensed under him and he let out a cuff to the other lions, signally his suggestion that they move in sooner rather than later, lest the rest of the herd show up and flatten all of them as well.

She is surrounded by filth. She stalks through the twisted forest with tightly clenched teeth, her skin crawling with every squelching step that marred her pristine white mittens. Viveka is not meant for such an ugly place. But she'll sooner drown in these murky waters then give up on this opportunity just because of a little mud.

Had the furious trumpet of an elephant not followed the hunter's call, she would've turned her nose up ages ago.

She's close now. The ground shakes. Quickly, the Rike huntress would rake her claws down the peeling bark of a nearby tree, ensuring that they were ready to cut through the thick hide she yearned to tear into, her heart quickening with the exhilarating rush of adrenaline.

She lunges into the fray with nary of hint of fear or trepidation, aiming to harass their colossal prize from its flank. She would surge upwards to risk a swipe at the giant's knee, using all her strength in an attempt to carve her claws down the length of its leg.

Now, this was a hunt.

"SPEECH"

code by scorpixia♡︎

It had been a mistake to come so close to the lands of her birth. She should not have given in to the temptation- the curiosity.

She'd been careful, of course. She'd drenched herself from head to toe in the mud of the unclaimed swamplands, drowning out her perfume with the scent of rot and decay, painting over her markings until her body was all one ugly shade of solid brown.

Yet the moment she'd caught Luther's scent on the wind, her mind went blank, filled only with the need to get away, get away, getawayawayawayawaygetfarawayandneverlookbackgetaway-!

She gasps sharply when she hurtles out into a clearing full of chaos, her panicked trance abruptly shattered by the pale gleam of sharp tusks gleaming in an arc above her head, the swipe so close that she could feel the wind against her ears.

It was pure luck that it hadn't killed her.

The realization that she had succumbed to her fear horrifies her. And enrages her. With a wild roar, she lashes out, quickly backpedaling out of the range of those deadly tusks, scrambling in an attempt to circle towards the giant's flank.

It's just...it's just an animal. A big, dumb beast that could bleed and die like everything else.

Just like Luther.
